Omaha, NE – Light freezing drizzle could create slick roads late Sunday night into Monday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha/Valley, snow chances Sunday will continue shifting south of Interstate 80 during the afternoon and evening hours. While widespread accumulation is not expected, forecasters say a few slick spots may develop, with a 20–40% chance of isolated icy areas.
The greater concern is the potential for patchy freezing drizzle across southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa late Sunday night into early Monday. The probability of drizzle development ranges between 20% and 30%, according to the NWS.
If freezing drizzle forms, untreated roads and elevated surfaces could become slick, potentially slowing the Monday morning commute in Omaha, Lincoln, and surrounding communities. Even light icing can create hazardous travel conditions, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Forecasters advise residents to monitor updated forecasts and check local road conditions before traveling. Confidence in the overall forecast remains moderate.
Students, early-shift workers, and commuters may want to allow extra travel time Monday morning if drizzle develops.
